Decontamination

Infection control is an integral part of ensuring safe service delivery for clients and staff alike. The recycling of appliances and equipment used in any environment is vital to ensure we reduce the environmental impact and promote a sustainable outlook for the long term use of medical products. In line with infection control standards, equipment should be decontaminated and maintained to minimise the risk of transmitting a healthcare-associated infection between uses.
